Engraving

This is a signed, framed, engraving, one of an edition of forty prints, entitled ‘Sheep Dipping’, by Stanley Anderson (1884–1966). It is one of a series of precisely-observed rural studies produced over a twenty year period from 1933 when Anderson moved to the village of Towersey, Oxfordshire. It was originally framed with a copy of the Daily Telegraph for January 1934 for padding, and the remains of an old label for The Birmingham Exhibition 1936 and a price tag for £4 10s framed can be found on the back. Anderson studied at the Royal College of Art and Goldsmiths College, and became a Fellow of the Royal Academy.
